New Charlotte-area data center dispute involves old farmland off I-85

Rowan County residents are actively opposing a data center project on former farmland in Salisbury, North Carolina, citing environmental impact, high water usage, and potential for increased electricity costs. This opposition comes after county commissioners rezoned the land for data center use, and a firm linked to developer Edged acquired the property. Residents have launched an online petition and a fundraising campaign to pressure officials.
